Boost leak testing your Kia

The Kia tester is for the Optima 2.0T and mounts on the turbo inlet. It also fits the Hyundai Sonata 2.0T, which uses the same Theta II turbo engine. It is billet aluminum with a liquid-filled gauge and an air fitting, so you can fill it from shop air. On these cars, a loose or split intercooler coupler is the most common leak, and it usually shows up as lost power, a lean condition or an underboost code. Fit the tester at the turbo inlet, start at 5 PSI and work up slowly toward your normal boost while you listen and spray soapy water on every joint. Have a different turbo Kia, such as the Stinger, Forte GT or Sorento turbo? Measure the outside diameter of your turbo inlet and pick a universal tester in that size, or text us what you drive and we'll tell you what fits.
